What to expect

Real talk.

We aim to share insights into management and leadership that's most relevant for WoC. Some talks will be recorded and made available, though some will be off the record to facilitate “real talk.”

For those allergic to the idea of “networking:” in addition to the main talks, our events include optional small-group activities around leadership dev and personal growth, including “Ask An Experienced Manager” booth.

No propaganda, only value.

No in-your-face recruiting. No talks that turn out to be ads for brands. Our speakers are carefully curated leaders with a track record of elevating WoC in tech.

Your contact information will not be shared with any company without your express permission. Our sponsors generously donate their resources to contribute to our shared goals, but *you* get to decide if you want to consider employment opportunities with them.

Commitment to Intersectionality.

We aim to have our community members feel like they have a place at the table, without questioning whether different parts of their identities are deemed real and acceptable.

Intersectionality allows us to take an analytical lens to social justice, and to band together and work towards solutions and progress.

We are

*Women of color

Those who identify as a woman, or non-binary, of non-white parentage, including but not limited to, African-American, American Indian/Native American, Arab, LatinX, Asian/Pacific Islander. See more from wocinc.org.

*New and aspiring leaders:

We offer no strict guidelines on who ‘qualifies’ as a leader, but to start: 1) thinking of moving into people management within 5 years, or 2) have made the jump in the last 5 years. We also fully support the indiv. choice to not pursue management.

Get Involved

Making our industry more diverse and inclusive is an on-going journey, and we're all experimenting in this effort!

Promoting WoC to leadership and management is one of the few D&I initiatives that have proven to actually work.
